Written by Marie Lebert with the help of Wikipedia, a tribute to translators of the past, with the short biographies of 150 translators from antiquity to the 20th century. All of them were also writers. Among these translators were many women who, after being anonymous or hidden behind a male pseudonym, began to sign their translations and their writings with their real names in the 16th century.

The last pages are a brief essay entitled "A short history of translation and translators". [web version]
